Hello Quants! Wow. It's been so wonderful chatting with so many of you on discord and using your feedback to make the game better. Here are some of the new features:

• Scroll Wheel Brushing (you can now pan and zoom with the mouse or trackpad)
• Bulk Upgrading Button Added
• Bots can now use your "Last Buy/Sell" as a relative time interval
• Discord is now fully integrated within the game as a milestone
• Google Translate is now integrated within the game (this comes at a performance penalty if enabled)
• External Indicator Layouts are now unrestricted
• New Transaction History View
• A few more Podcasts were embedded (please let us know if there are particular podcasts on iHeart you would like added to the game in the future)
• The randomness of ending a stock is now relativized.

More importantly, we fixed a whole lot of bugs dedicated players brought to our attention. We're so grateful for your help and understanding with all of this - in hindsight we should have released in Early Access and made use of the community to patch these bugs sooner. Our non-profit will not make that mistake again for our next release. That being said, all known issues (except for the few minor ones mentioned at the bottom of this announcement) have been rectified, in no particular order:

• Tutorials would re-initiate after restart
• Set Var node lacked a trigger
• Spacebar exploit now throttled
• Recession hover events not registered
• SMA/EMA trash hidden between upgrades
• Tooltip issues
• Formatting adjusted for Negative Numbers
• New Stock button would do nothing
• Feedback button would be unresponsive
• Fees not reset properly between restarts
• Two fatal game loading errors
• Brush moves on sim instead of scaling on sim
• Margin Loan Minimum rate Locked at 5%
• Short position persistence issues
• Cancelling lim/stop orders with a short position would flip position
• SMA/EMA colors fixed
• Issues with switching modes
• Layout persistence of external indicators
• Leading Indicators would be hidden unless DXY was purchased

Phew. That's a lot. And it wouldn't have been possible to patch these if not for the community who really stepped up and sent us their save files and made bug reports. I'd like to especially thank: @rocketorbit, @dertorm, @DrDerpenstein, @malestrom, @utility, Sveelen, bob-the-builder, Johnny Gueggu and SterlingH A few minor issues yet to be addressed:

• Windows icon is split in half if not pinned (this is an electron bug, trying to find a solution)
• Video rewatch exploit
• New transaction view erroneously shows everything as a "buy"

We'll patch these shortly along with more fixes and updates. I did want to ask everyone about a suggestion someone had on the forum recently -> that automation upgrades (i.e. lim/stop, simple bots, visual bots and all their upgrades) persist through restarting runs. I kind of like this idea, and we could change the upgrade costs in these areas to make sure the balance of the game stays more or less the same. Interested to hear what you think! As always, shoot us an email or drop-in on discord (remember you can now do it in-game) and say hi! We'd love to hear from you. Thank you all so much for your continued support, it means the world to us. - Chris
